The soft and smooth touch spread from the palm of his hand. Jiang Shui felt the warm and delicate feeling, and he retracted his hand with some intention, and pinched Qi Yan's cheek vaguely.
You can clearly feel that the temperature under your hands is heating up faster!
[The male protagonist’s favorability towards Qi Yan is +5, current favorability: 55]
A smile flashed across his eyes, and he moved his thumb slightly, gently wiping the corner of Qi Yan's mouth to wipe away the remaining soup stains from the corner of his mouth.
"It wasn't wiped clean." Jiang Shui stretched out his thumb and showed Qi Yan the area where there was a brown soup stain: "It was wiped off."
His eyes fell on Qi Yan's face, only to find that he was blushing and looking at him blankly.
"You!" Qi Yan stretched out his hand tremblingly and kept pointing at the river: "You, you, you... what are you doing!"
"I told you, I'll wipe the soup stain for you." Jiang Shui wiped the soup stain with a paper towel: "It tastes so delicious. You like it, don't you?"
"Who likes to eat! I just don't want to waste food!"
"Ah..." Jiang Shui responded a little disappointed, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Qi Yan felt that he had been a bit too duplicitous just now. What others have worked so hard to do, and then I deny it all at once... It's really disappointing.
Smacking his lips in distress, Qi Yan wanted to say something more, but Jiang Shui silently picked up the bag and walked towards the bathroom.
Seeing him dumbfounded as he approached the bathroom in a familiar manner, Qi Yan swallowed back the words of rescue he wanted to blurt out.
—Did this guy send someone to explore this place while he was away? How else could the direction to the bathroom be so clear? ! Obviously I only stayed here for less than five hours in the first two days, but it was still the total time!
When the river water came out again, the lunch box had been washed clean.
Qi Yan, who was pacing anxiously, quickly went up to him, blushing and hesitating: "I, I think you did a good job, you barely managed to get it into my mouth... Of course, it was mainly because I didn't want to waste food, so I ate it all. !”
"Pfft..."
Jiang Shui finally couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed out loud while covering his mouth.
This was the first time Jiang Shui showed an unabashed smile in front of Qi Yan. Even if he pursed his lips and smiled a few times, he was not as comfortable as he is now.
Qi Yan was stunned, and after a long while he muttered stupidly: "You smiled..."
"Yeah." Jiang Shui didn't hide it: "Thank you for making me laugh so happily. I haven't laughed like this for a long time."
"...Then you are really pitiful." Qi Yan murmured unconsciously.
"Yeah, I'm very pitiful." Jiang Shui stopped smiling and returned to his usual dull look: "Thank you for recognizing my cooking skills."
"...I always say thank you, and I have said it several times today." Qi Yan turned away and clutched the corner of his clothes with a panicked expression: "Aren't we friends? After saying thank you so many times, it seems like I am It’s like you’ve done something great.”
Trying something like this is really not a good deed! Besides saying thank you, Qi Yan should have doubted whether he could bear it.
Jiang Shui just wanted to express his gratitude simply, but to Qi Yan, this kind of gratitude, to a certain extent, happened to be the most ambiguous distance between him and him.
Qi Yan didn't want to do this, because the river was attracting him all the time.
After the meal, Jiang Shui did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on the reception sofa in the office and even used the WIFI to make space. Qi Yan was sorting out documents. During this peaceful and silent time, although the two of them did not communicate or talk, they still did not feel empty.
As long as two people are together, there will be nothing wrong with whatever they do.
Qi Yan dared to pat his chest and promise that Jiang Shui was definitely the one who made the fastest progress in his strategy.
Others only assisted in the strategy based on Qi Yan's relationship with him. It was almost impossible to have such a big breakthrough like Jiang Shui's meeting in just a few days.
It is precisely because of this that Qi Yan is particularly concerned about Jiang Shui's heart.
Is he sincere? How does he see himself? What would he think if he did this
Qi Yan sometimes laughs at himself in his heart. Is it because he has traveled too much in the world and is exhausted physically and mentally, so he becomes more cautious in doing things
It was past noon, and it was hard to get through the time when he wanted to sleep. Qi Yan rubbed his eyes and briefly strengthened his muscles. He saw Jiang Shui sitting on the sofa, staring at him unblinkingly with his head tilted.
"Look what I'm doing..."
"Today is Saturday." Jiang Shui said suddenly, "Qi Yan, you don't have an appointment?"
"...How did you know I had an appointment?!" The troubles came to mind again, Qi Yan said with a sad face: "You must be too awesome."
"No, I heard that female teacher when she came to see you last time." Jiang Shui admitted honestly!
Blinking, Qi Yan licked his dry lips: "Um... do you have any good opinions?"
"Huh? Which way?"
"It's the matter of her asking me to dinner." Qi Yan clapped his fingers: "She must have wanted to bribe me to get into the position of tutor. But to be fair, her abilities are very average, and whether it's painting skills or Creativity is stuck at a less than outstanding level. As a teacher, she doesn't need to break through; but as a mentor that everyone respects, she definitely can't."
"What do you mean?"
"I firmly deny it. She was not included in the initial list of mentor candidates."
Jiang Shui was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up, walked to Qi Yan's side, leaned over and stared at Qi Yan sitting on the boss's chair.
"What if you use a reason to excuse it?" Jiang Shui's tone was extremely serious: "Let's use a reason to excuse it."
"... Prevarication?" Qi Yan thought for a while: "This is not good... I want to refuse directly."
Jiang Shui: "..." Is it okay to just refuse
"But what you said is fine... But what excuse are you using? Is it a reason not to go to the appointment or is it a reason not to give her the position of tutor?"
He placed his hands on the handle, trapping Qi Yan between him and the chair. Jiang Shui thought for a while and spoke seriously.
"Tell her you can't keep the appointment."
"...The reason." Qi Yan rolled his eyes. If he could say it so straightforwardly, he wouldn't have to worry about it, right
"Because I have to accompany my boyfriend."
"ah?"
"Because I have to accompany my boyfriend, I can't go to the appointment."
Jiang Shui repeated it, and suddenly raised a soft smile: "... Do you really believe it? I lied to you."
Qi Yan: "..."
Suddenly feeling calmer, Qi Yan pushed Jiang Shui away with a cold expression on his face: "Don't make such a joke."
"...I'm sorry, I just don't want you to go to the appointment."
-Because if you go to the appointment, I will feel uncomfortable. Although I don't know why.
